I was curious about which reissues or versions in general are recommended for Venom's Black Metal and Welcome to Hell if I don't want all the extra demos and junk included on the BoB pressings? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance._________________

Those newer Immortal discs have copy protection that prevents them from being read in certain players and computers. Otherwise they sound like the originals. Earlier presses aren't too hard to find or too expensive, so I'd try to find earlier versions. However it is charming that the reissues still have all the typos and wrong song orders of the originals.

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet (though someone brought up the recent Earache reissues generally) but the Morbid Angel "Covenant" "full range spectrum remastered" or what have you -- that sounds fantastic. Much better than that fuzzy-ass mastering job of years past. It's about goddamn time. Gatefold. Comes with a turntable cover thing, which no I'm not gonna use but it's nice to get an extra...

simply go on German eBay and buy an old pressing for small money, problem solved.

Anyone got any opinions on the 2002 repressings of Reek of Putrefaction and Symphonies of Sickness? With the recent FDR represses it made me curious about the quality on the versions I picked up years ago. These are the only versions of the albums I own/have heard, so opinions on the sound would be apprecaited._________________Good sellers/traders: metalmac, greenmonster, Transcendence, GoldenBull, Paria

Iron Tyrant's Mortuary Drape- 'All The Witches Dance' is way better than the original. In fact, I sold my original soon after getting it. Same goes for those Inquisition tome reissues. If there's a sufficient demand, reissues are necessary, provided they are given the proper treatment visually and sonically (i.e. proper mastering etc). Keep good music available and affordable!
